Watching the video of installing the pulley back on the cub. Dumb question, from a non-mechanic. How do you know when the pulley is "home"? Does it contact a flange, or what?

Thanks for your assistance.

stop when the pulley edge is about a 1/4 inch from the tip of the timing indicator. if you dont, you run the risk of twisting off the threaded rod or trashing the threads in the crank.

Interestingly enough the busted up pulley was replaced with a brand new IH pulley. Cecil cooked it for about a half hour in his shop toaster oven at 350 degrees.Engine was sitting on the bench with the crankshaft vertical. He started the pulley on crankshaft gave it hit with his fist and it dropped right on. ....that was easy!

The puller in the "still" photos is mine, homemade, because Earl was out of them, when I needed it. Earl's is much lighter, and easier to handle. Mine really needs 2 people to handle it, but it has never failed to do its job. Ed

I also install mine with an air wrench and you can readily tell when the pulley seats as the sound from the wrench will change--haven't lost any threads yet
